I was talking to a sales rep for Trophy at the boat show over the winter. He did his best to sell me one!
But he could not answer ??? to my satfaction, So I told him he couldn't sell me a Trophy if it was the last boat on earth!! I would hollow out a Log first!! 
Sorry Link!! Nice Boat!! |

"Next Boat"
The fishing deck on my present boat is 8'6" X 8'6". Thats the number one reason I got the Hydra-Sport. It had the most room
deckwise, than all the others I looked at. Don't get me wrong, I
am very happy with my boat. The only thing, I would like more
cabin roon. So I can stay aboard the boat on weekends. I have
put shore power aboard, I have electric heat, and even a 5" TV.
Its got a port-a-party, and even an 8'6" X 8'6" colapsable bimmini
to cover the rear deck.

I'll Play
If I had 100,000 lying around I would by this boat:

and then take the extra 40K and by an F350 to pull it with.
Not saying I wouldn't slip it, because I would, but the F350 and trailer would be convenient. Also, I just want a big truck regardless.

Take a 100 grand, put it into a relative value trade on the stock market.
Then buy a 40 foot Cabo.
And then sell it the week afterwards for half of what I paid for it, after I find out I can't afford the gas bill.  |

I wouldn't buy a boat I would just charter the best boats and captains every weekend during the season for the rest of my life. You could probably do that off the interest of a good 100 grand investment and none of the headaches of boat ownership. Paul

Polar 27 ft CC, Would not change our new boat for the world, we are very impressed with it. If you want a heavy, nice riding center consol, very dry, with twin 225's yamaha's 4 strokes and a fishing machine,  you can't go wrong. Got boat, motors and trailer, with all the goodies for under $100,000. Also has a full size head, Life is good!!!!!!!!!! |

Julie,
One improvement if to do if you were to do it again would be to get the f250s instead of the 225s you have and that boat will do between 60 - 65 mpr!!! |

Jarvis Newman 32, cat diesel w/ dry stack through the house and keel coolers.
Never have to come out of the water that way, and you run fresh instead of salt through the engine. 
or a used late 90's N/M 50 (hmmm ex-Snow Leopard) w/ full B&G and 3DL set up for offshore. footballs? hello Azores. |

30+' gaff-rigged schooner, wooden hull, all the nav goodies, watermaker, tender, cannon, large poo tank. The best of both worlds -- sailing AND fishing. One day, one day.

The worst day fishing is better than the best day working. ...Wait a minute, my work IS fishing. Sweet.
